  1. Smoking or vaping nicotine almost guarantees early death from cancer. Nicotine is cancerogenic in any form. Quit this last century and not fashionable habit now. In China it seems like 99% of men smoke but women less, in Russia it looks like women smoke even more than men.

    The word you're looking for is "carcinogenic" and you are completely wrong - nicotine on it's own is generally agreed to NOT be carcinogenic and has actually been shown to have possible health benefits like reducing the likelihood of Alzheimer's and other neurological conditions in later life. Just google it. It's all the tar and nasty chemicals in the smoke that makes cigarettes carcinogenic, not the nicotine.

    Please get your facts straight before posting in public. Spreading your "opinion" without first checking the facts is a highly irresponsible activity that does not benefit anyone.

    Google is full of articles confirming carcinogenic properties of nicotine.

    You can do your own search on this subjects just as a matter of interest before making conclusions.

    Two points is this article first it was written back in 2014 and secondly it is from the USA.

    Google recent medical research articles on vaping from the UK and you will find very few negative studies.

    Google is full of articles confirming a belief that Radical Islamic jihad is the way to go, the world is flat, no planes hit the twin towers and 9/11 was faked, that Jesus rose from the dead, or even Mohammad flew from Mecca to Jerusalem on a winged horse. You need to look at where the evidence comes from.

    I believe that nicotine has carcinogenic properties, it's my own opinion based on materials which I read, if someone thinks differently, this is his right and his own health. Ecig in my opinion can be a choice to reduce daily intake of poisons to people wishing to quit. Many people quit smoking completely switching from analog to electronic version. Wishing everyone good health.
  2. Today Russians said that their General staff is loosing patience with the US which is still determining who is moderate opposition and who is hardcore. Russians are constantly asking Allies for coordinates where to bomb without success. By the way, another, the eleventh Russian marine was killed trying to stop a suicider in a car

    The post says Russians are constantly asking "Allies" for coordinates of where to bomb without success. Russia however has no allies in Syria (or much of anywhere else). Not Turkey...not Israel...not Egypt...not the USA.......If Russia can't do its own targeting of those it IDs as the "enemy" then they'd be in a sad state of military affairs. US deals de facto with Russia in Syria, not as an ally or a partner and it's the same for the other governments of the region, save Iran.

    Last year SecDef Ashton Carter ended 15 years of US strategic ambiguity by putting Russia behind Door Number One, CCP Beijing behind Door Number Two, and Iran behind Door Number Three. In terms of intelligence and homeland security, terrorism is number one across national borders, i.e., globally but in the ME especially.

    Nor does Putin care how many Marines Russia loses as long as no one at home finds out about it. Best thing Putin could do is to listen to the CCP Dictators in Beijing who want Russia's cooperation with the West in the ME rather than antagonism and hostility toward it. The conflict stuff is bad for business, the oil flow especially, to include CCP and Iran.

  4. Go to China to Dog meat festival in Guangxi province. Small yellow skin dogs are considered the most yummy. Some years ago chefs were beating alive dogs with sticks to death to make meat more juicy. I heard these dogs screaming while passing by dog meat restaurants in GZ but it was about 10 years ago maybe now the situation is better and they just quicky slit dogs throat but who knows. I heard a story about one British girl who went to the animal market in GZ to buy a puppet as a pet. After she made her choice the vendor thinking that she was buying a dog for food quickly chopped puppy in a few chunks, wrapped it and gave it to a speechless girl...

  5. Beijing has more than 10,000 Chinese dominating the oil fields of southern Iraq, from Baghdad to Basra.

    Chinese oil companies and the Chinese government share a concern regarding the outcome of the conflict between ISIS and Iraqi security forces due to Beijings considerable oil resources and infrastructure investment. Last year, China was the largest importer of produced Iraqi crude oil at 22%, followed by India at 19%, according to a Jan. 30, 2015, report on Iraq by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Baghdad, in particular, holds key energy significance for Beijing, as it was Chinas fifth largest oil source in 2014.[1]

    http://atimes.com/2015/09/why-china-will-intervene-in-iraq/

    CCP have publicly stated their support of US bombing of ISIS in Iraq but support bombing in Syria only with UN concurrence. CCP reckons upwards of 300 Chinese are in ISIS.

    CCP supports Baghdad with military intelligence, equipment, training of special operations forces -- same as the USA does. CCP try to be friendly toward the Kurds in case of an independent state and all the oil in Kurd areas. Good too if there's no separate state although Beijing stays out of the north of Iraq due to the fighting there.

    CCP was supposed join Russia to provide Assad with air support but ended up sending its one aircraft carrier group to Iraq without any jet fighters cause PLA Navy turned out to be wholly unprepared for any such thing. Propping up Assad militarily has been entirely Putin's show and the curtain is mostly down on it by now.

    Who does Washington reckon is the most dangerous ?

    Islamic fundamentalists who are against America ? Please note that not all Islamic fundamentalists are against America. Or is Russia more of a threat ? Or is it China who is a greater threat ?

    What is the problem with Assad being in control of Syria ? How is that a problem for Washington ? Why continue to back the rebellion against Assad ? Oh, so Washington wants to back the rebellion against Assad, but at the same time, Washington is scared about who is going to be taking over Syria if Assad goes away ?

    Assad is NOT an Islamic fundamentalist, surely, Washington feels better about Assad being in control, rather than risk having some Islamic fundamentalists who are against America ?

    Presume guys from the State Dept need to do some work to get salaries???
  6. Might want to do some fact checking. Nicotine is not classified as a carcinogen... Not enough information to classify it as such. Like saying that caffiene is a carcinogen really.

    Smoking or vaping nicotine almost guarantees early death from cancer. Nicotine is cancerogenic in any form. Quit this last century and not fashionable habit now. In China it seems like 99% of men smoke but women less, in Russia it looks like women smoke even more than men.

    There are mixed results whether pure nicotine is carcinogenic.

    http://myfinalsmoke.com/is-nicotine-a-carcinogen/

    As in analog cigs there are thousands of real killers besides nicotine and it's hard to understand which chemical triggeres cancer. I understand that there are also not enough proof whether e-cigs with pure nicotine can cause cancer but people who chew or suck tobacco snus are also suffering from month cancer which might be from pure nicotine. Better quit anyway.

  7. Complain about vegetables and post a pic of fruit?

    From your comment I see you either have poor eyesight or are not familiar with how Thai tomatoes look... They do not look like the European species.

    Tomatoes for somtam...In general I have a feeling that all veggies and fruits are full of nitrates same as in China. Hardly understand what to eat here - palm oil everywhere, veggies are nitrated or GMO, meat is cancerogenic, fish is full of mercury, shrips are on antibiotics, chicken on hormones, water is polluted, beer is crap
